• "Thanks for hosting www.shellscript.sh website! I've started reading yesterday evening because I noticed I don't understand shell scripting good enough to create those scripts fast and easy.
  At this very moment I'm working on some scripts to prepare, install and launch some FreeBSD Bhyve VMs.
  The information, both the content as well as the structure, were exactly what I was looking for to have a good basic understanding of shell scripting. So again, a big thank you for sharing this information for free on shellscript.sh, I do appreciate this!"

  Thank you very much for such a good job."

  -- Bob
• "I'm currently teaching a couple of summer school computer classes, and I wanted to let you know that your Bourne Shell Tutorial has been a great help. I was able to point a couple of my more motivated students, who had expressed an interest in programming, at the tutorial and let them work through it. Both are now writing shell scripts and showing a solid grasp of the material.
  Also, I found it to be a great introduction for myself; I've done some programming in C, C++, and in Java (along with a smattering of other languages), but never had a solid introduction to shell programming--my experience with shell programs focused largely on trudging through startup scripts to figure out what was realling going on in routing tables and whatnot. However, by reading your tutorial and being able to look back at it, I've been able to actually understand a lot more of what those scripts are doing, as well as write a couple of my own. "
• "Thanks for the excellent shell scripting tutorial. It's been a long while since I've written anything in sh and your page was an excellent refresher course. Not too mention, I learned a couple of new tricks while I was there, too. Thank you again for taking the time to make that available via the web."

• "Just a quick note to say thanks for your tutorial on Shell scripting.
  I am somewhat new to Unix, having been an NT Admin for many years.
  Out of nowhere I got dropped into my lap a 2 million dollar project which we had set up, mostly run on Unix.
  The guy they hired to manage it, and the Unix admin both got canned and they wanted me to manage the whole thing.
  Mainly I manage NT Boxes, program in Perl, VB, some Java, and I am also the data base engineer and admin.
  I am a strong believer in automating things using programming (the new version of PERL with the Win32 wraps makes life a heckuva lot easier!) and this new set of systems we have is in desperate need of some good programming. 6 Sun servers and 2 NT boxes all working together for a CTI system in a call center - if the IVR or any box has problems it can affect our service greatly.
  Thanks to you and your quick tutorial I am able to throw together the scripts I need to assist me in my job. Keep up the excellent work! Got anything on C ;) "
• "I haven't been in Unix for over two and half years as I was made redundant from the position I had - fairly junior, but looked adter an RS6000 and informix database of which I was given no training for over a year - and found it difficult to get a position that wasn't either very technical or too senior.
  I don't have any scritping experience as such as all the scripts were in place by my predessor - I was responsible for editing files, backups, sql's, file space etc.
  THANK YOU
  I have found a site that is both easy to understand and very informative - It's an area I would like to move back in to
  have you thought about writing a text book?
